B2evolution upgraded to 3.3.2 Part II

Well it turns out that I need more caffeine. Today I fixed the issues I had yesterday after the upgrade to B2evoltuion 3.3.2.

It turns out that PHP error logging was disabled on the server, thus I didn't get to see the error PHP was throwing. Stupid me:-/
b2evolution-3.3.2 needs PHP with ctype support, which is simply enabled with the corresponding USE-flag. The error PHP was throwing was:

[Fri Nov 20 09:57:11 2009] [error] [client 208.115.111.247] PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function ctype_space() in /var/www/site/htdocs/inc/_core/_misc.funcs.php on line 779


The funny thing is that apparently B2evolution is not using PHP ctype support for all posts, but only some posts (ie. with URLS). Thus making debuggin all the more fun. On top of that B2evolution now prerenders pages eventhough caching is disabled. Oh the fun of debugging.

Also I had a funny problem during the upgrade of the B2evolution MySQL tables. For future reference I'll post the details here as well. The installer threw this one:

Additional information about this error:
MySQL error!
Can't create table './b2evo/#sql-7735_1.frm' (errno: 135)(Errno=1005)
Your query:
ALTER TABLE evo_items__item ENGINE=innodb


The MySQL docs lists errno 135 as no space left in the record file and suggests way to fix this here.

At first I misintepreted the proposed solution but it simply turned out that I had to change the following line in MySQL my.cnf:

innodb_data_file_path = ibdata1:10M:autoextend:max:256M


I simply had to increase max.

Now it's time to actually see what new features B2evolution 3.3.x has...
